It is my turn and I will have to be brief. To be fair to all the members, I think everything has been explored to a very positive outcome.

I have two quick questions. We have heard time and again at this committee how girls fall out of sports at a particular age, often at 14 or 15. I think that is broadly the case across many sports. We are haemorrhaging young girls who are finished with sports. Has that been considered as one of the social outcomes from the SOC that Mr. McGroarty and UEFA are endeavouring to deliver?
